'Brooklyn Gangs' is a photography book by Bruce Davidson &the images are classic!! There's only one thousand copies in the world & I am proud to say I own one!! I brought it when I was 17 'cos I read another book called 'Portrait of a Young Man Drowning' &this was the image on the front cover. I loved it so much I researched the photo and got the book- it cost £80!! 'Portrait of a Young Man Drowning' is also an excellent book by the way.
These books represent a culture that no longer exists anymore & if I could choose an era to have lived in as a teenager, it would have been the 1950's- the diners, boys with slick backed hair, tee sleeves rolled up, big shades, horn rimmed glasses... the 50's 'image' is iconic- I love it, see if you do....
Peace.
